"THESE TIMES" in the YEAR of the 2025 Esoteric CONCLAVE
Guidance from Master (DK) to His disciples ON PAIN, AGONY, WAR ~ 1942 to Present Times
“STANDING IN THE BLAZE OF PAIN”, DNA-I, 99/102
The pressure of the work upon me has been very heavy lately. Much work has rested upon my shoulders, incident to the world situation. This has involved much effort on the part of the Hierarchy to prevent a complete collapse of the structure of human civilisation, as it exists at this time. The sound foundations of part of the structure must be saved; all else may have to go.
Many things contribute to the inertia that today seems to afflict many of the disciples of the world who should be active in service and helpfulness. This applies also to you. The pressure of war conditions and concern over your own personal affairs, attitudes and reactions have crowded much that I might say and have said out of your minds. One of the first lessons which those in training for initiation have to master is that difficult dual attitude which permits right personality activity and real interest in personality affairs and yet at the same time permits nothing personal to interfere with the subjective spiritual life, with service and with the training, given in preparation for initiation. As time goes on, I shall try to bridge between the old techniques and the newer modes of training by using a part of the ancient techniques—now becoming somewhat obsolete—and the giving of those hints which will lead you to understand the nature, purpose and methods of educating accepted disciples in the processes of initiation.
Above all, I would say: Seek to recover the fervour of your earlier, spiritual aspiration and self-discipline. If you have never lost it (though many disciples have) seek to force that energy of inspiration to work out in an effective display of [Page 100] definite action upon the physical plane. How, you ask, my brothers? By increasing the radiance of your light in the world through love and meditation, so that others may turn to you as to a beacon light in the dark night of life which seems in this century to have descended upon humanity; seek to love more than you have ever believed was possible, so that others—frozen and chilled by life circumstance and the present horror of human existence—may turn to you for warmth and comforting. What I and all who are affiliated with the Hierarchy seek to do at this time of desperate crisis is to find those who are dependable points of living energy and through them pour out the love, the strength and the light which the world needs and must have if this storm is to be weathered. I ask you to render this service to me and to humanity. I ask nothing spectacular; it will, however, require a strenuous effort of your souls if you are to respond adequately; I ask nothing impossible; I would remind you that the apathy of the physical body and brain, the inertia of the feeling nature and the sense of futility of the mind when confronted with large issues will seem to hinder you.
Again I point the Way to you and again I wait. Will you intensify your inner life and achieve the power which will enable you to live simultaneously as an efficient human being and a living, loving soul? It is the establishing of the continuity of this dual process which is your main need at this time; it will lead to fusion, personality coordination and a greatly increased efficiency. Many disciples are not young and the settled habit of thought and of the feeling life is not easy to disrupt. They must, however, be disrupted and you must feel no resentment. The rhythms of the personality are stabilised and constitute your line of least resistance. You must cut athwart these, thus forming the cross of life and existence will then take on added difficulty. The results will be new rhythms of beauty.
To those who are standing in the blaze of pain (and their numbers are Legion), of agony, anxiety and distress—seeing it on every hand and attempting to stand steady in the midst of it all—I say: That which appears is not always that which truly is; that which rends and disrupts the personality life is frequently the agent of release, if rightly apprehended; that which will emerge when the Forces of Light have penetrated the world darkness will demonstrate the nature of the undying human [Page 101] spirit. To all of you I say: My love surrounds you and the aura of the Ashram of which I am the centre stands like a great defending wall around you and around all who are battling for the right. See that you battle. You can then, if you will, sense this loving protection. Each day, if you will, you can put yourself en rapport with your Master. We are not blind or uncaring. We know, however, that there are worse evils than death and pain. We know that this is the hour of humanity's greatest opportunity and that if men can pass triumphantly through this and (by the strength of their own souls) surmount this very present evil, then the evolution of humanity will be hastened beyond all that was believed possible. It will constitute a release, self-achieved and self-initiated. This means as much in the life of mankind as it means in the life of the individual disciple. That chance and that opportunity must not be taken from man; the gained spiritual and eternal values are of far greater importance than his temporary agony.
Little as you may realise it as you think of Us in Our so-called safe retreats, the capacity of identification with all that is involved in world pain today and the sensitivity of Those connected with the Hierarchy to the unhappy condition of humanity makes Their task of standing-by, one of supreme spiritual agony. They understand the depths of the reaction of humanity; they comprehend and understand, for They are one with all men. This involves a far greater comprehension than you can grasp and one which can only be adequately expressed in the word "identification." They need the staunch support of all Their disciples, the steadfast love, the loyal attitude, the unquestioning response to human need which will enable Them to carry more easily the heavy burden which human karma has laid upon Them and which They carry voluntarily.
Will you give this? Will you aid Our work in every possible way, both as personalities, dedicated to service, and as souls who walk the lighted Way? The need of humanity for love and light, the need of the Hierarchy for channels and for those who will work under direction upon the earth can call forth all that you have to give and can evoke your soul (the only true reward that the disciple seeks) in power and love. This will happen to you, if you will forget the little self. [Page 102]
That your knowledge may be transmuted into wisdom and the eye of vision control your living processes and all your undertakings is the desire (deep within my heart) for each and all of you.

ESOTERIC PENTECOST
Dear Friends Upon the Lighted Way,
Esoteric Pentecost – a five-day ritual of spiritual discipline and "group approach to divinity" is now upon us and begins this Wednesday through Sunday (for those who desire to participate).
This year, the timing of Esoteric Pentecost perfectly prepares and leads into the Solar Full Moon of Gemini – the Festival of the Christ and Humanity. The long anticipated 2025 Centennial Hierarchical Conclave marks the end and beginning of a new cycle for Humanity and the Earth. While no one knows the exact time of the Conclave, the three major Full Moon Festivals and Pentecost will surely be used by Shamballa and the Hierarchy due to their high planetary purpose and energy flowing through them.
Pentecost continues to be a timeless ritual for accessing the potent tide of Christ Consciousness magnetizing us inward and upward. Venus serving as the Soul to the Earth is in deep resonance with the theme of Pentecost.
Among the many treasured references and definitions of Pentecost, Master DK offers one of great universal appeal and magnetism:
“Pentecost is the universal dissemination of the Christ Consciousness throughout all time in the heart of every human being.”
This central theme will be the core around which Esoteric Pentecost will constellate. Our spiritual attitude will be one of divine expectancy as we gather our forces to a heightened point of inner penetration, to then express the Christ consciousness in ourselves and through the world.
As the inner movement of high aspiration enters into Christ Consciousness, we, Hierarchy and Father/Mother God meet in the Chalice of the group Heart – ever a symbol for the reception of universal Love. Through our disciplines of Spirit, we raise our Consciousness and provide a chalice for the inflow of universal Love for Humanity and the heart of every form.
A primary spiritual purpose of ‘Esoteric Advent’ is to be a focal point for raising the energy for the ‘Advent of the Soul’ of two kingdoms in the body of the Logos – Hierarchy and Humanity – the 4thand 5th Kingdoms – each sphere approaching the other for an eventual destined merging.
“The keynote of the New World Religion is Divine Approach: "Draw near to Him and He will draw near to you" is the injunction, emanating in new and clear tones from the Hierarchy today." (POH, 158)
If you desire to participate, the five-day Pentecost ritual begins Wednesday, June 4 and culminates on Sunday, June 8 – at which time Day One of the 7-Day Gemini FM approach to Divinity begins. To participate in these events, go to the website: https://www.EsotericAdvent.org and click on the tab titled Esoteric Pentecost.
PLEASE NOTE: the daily rituals are posted on the website for you. Open each successive day and follow the readings, meditations and Diamond Soul Practices on those days.
SUNDAY, June 8 begins Day One of the Seven-Day Full Moon Group Ritual of Approach to Divinity for Gemini (when ready). Go to the tab titled by that name.
We are on the Journey to the Heart of the Universe and invite you to journey with us in spiritual group approach to Divinity in service of the Christ, Humanity and the Earth.
In the Love, Joy and Blessings of the One Work ~
